I wasn't wearing a hat at that time, so that making it more rare!
I had almost the same experience myself a couple of times. Appart from that there was this instance when I was wearing my Wested Rola Special and someone said:" you know, If that stormflap would have had snaps and the leather was cow, I'd swear it would look just like an Indiana Jones jacket" :lol: must have been an LC or a CS fan ;)

So the Dutch somehow do recognise the jacket. Now if only they would stop calling my AB a cowboy hat :roll:

I like the idea that they would look like normal, genuine, flight jackets

I was clocked by a colleague, about my age (mid 30s) in March/April last year, before KOTCS hit theatres, I was wearing my novapelle Wested KOTCS jacket. He jokingly made a comment along the lines of "Who have you come as Indiana Jones?"

I didn't know the crowd at that time and just laughed it of saying I'd let the Hat and Bullwhip at home.....

The rest of the time I use my MkVII and Jacket together and no one has ever noticed.

No, not to me. That's okay, because I know what I'm wearing. ;)

only one person ever noticed I was wearing my Indy jacket and it was a girl at work, everyone else thinks my wested looks like all my other A-2's. When I first got my wested I showed it to my best friend and he said isn't that same jacket you showed me at Christmas, I got a new A-2 last year,I see leather jackets all the time, and I look to see what type they are, but I have not seen an Indy jacket where I live and I also see alot of bad A-2's.

I had a guy come up to me in a bagel shop once and ask me if I was wearing a Flightsuits Raiders jacket... what are the odds...

Ran into a guy last weekend that was wearing a Wested at a Cost-Plus Imports in my area, who turned out to be on this forum.... Ian, you around? :lol:

As for someone approaching me? No, not that I recall.

I'm getting harassed all the time by hordes of people asking about my jacket.

I'm only wearing it indoors now with the curtains closed.

;)
